Cast an absentee ballot if you can’t vote in person

If you do nothing else today, please check your schedule to make sure you can vote on Nov. 6 for Cornerstone’s Families First Pledge signer candidates. If you discover you can’t make it to the polls, please plan ahead so you can cast an absentee ballot for state candidates who will support New Hampshire families.

New Hampshire law does not have a specific deadline for filling out an absentee ballot request form; however, you must fill out the form with enough time to receive your absentee ballot and then return it to your local clerk's office before 5 p.m. on Election Day. If you are doing everything by mail, give yourself at least a week prior to Nov. 6 to receive and return your ballot. The ballots themselves will be sent prior to Election Day directly to the address you fill out on the form. If you are going to drop off your request form in person, you may do this up until the day before the election. According to the Secretary of State's office, the clerk would then hand you a ballot at that time for you to fill out and immediately return. All ballots, including absentee ballots, must be cast on Election Day.
